1 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: All right, it's the average American and for the great American. 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: On this Martin Luther King Junior Day, and a day 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: of great note, I think we should pause and just 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: reflect on that, just for a moment. Those of us 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: who were children of the sixties understand what a great 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: man this man was and how his life was cut 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: down far too short. A great man of peace, great 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: man of vision, somebody that not only did so much 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: for his own race, but cut across racial lines and 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: understood that you get nowhere by yelling and screaming, but 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: you get everywhere by talking and acting and leading, and 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: so on this day, I think of some of the 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: great moments that he had in his life, and wonder 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: about the great moments he could have had had his 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: life not be cut short. So today is Martin Luther 16 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: King Junior Day. It is a day that is resplendent, 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: with a lot of other things going on that we 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: will get to between now and three o'clock. And we 19 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: are one day away from the one year anniversary of 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Trump two point zero. Trump two point zero. Now, a 21 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: lot of people, I think, were expecting Trump to be 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: different in his demeanor, and he is somewhat, but He's 23 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: still not lovable and huggable. I think a lot of 24 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: people wanted what Trump promised to do and what he's 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: carrying out, but maybe they didn't want it done as 26 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: clumsily as what Trump does. But Trump is a disruptor, 27 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: He's a changer, and the next three years will go 28 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: a long way and determining whether or not these changes 29 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: that he campaigned on and he's starting to deliver on, 30 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: if these changes will be things that have a short 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: shelf life or something that might just be gone with 32 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: the wind if Trump and the GOP is run out 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: of office in twenty twenty eight. Now, somebody that understands 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: all of this, I don't explain any of this is 35 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: standing by to join us right now. He is flashing 36 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: euphemistically speaking online one And it's a great day when 37 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: we could get political analysts and a man who looks 38 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: at life and says, let's live at the Winsome way. 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: It's our good buddy from out in the buckle of 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: the Bible belt, out there in the Midwest, where the 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: grain grows great and the sun shines bright. It's our 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: good buddy, Dan Snell, how are you on this glorious Monday? 43 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: I am doing dandy. Thank you so much, Ken for 44 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: those kind words. Always good to be on the nation's station. 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: You know, I looked up why you were called that, 46 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: and President Trump and WLW SEFNE have something in common. 47 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: There's never been anything like it before ever ever, as 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: Trump always says it, that's because I learned the wlw's 49 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: first five hundred thousand watts and only five hundred thousand 50 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: watt station before you were said, they said, can't do 51 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: that anymore? Mean historic? 52 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, where I live, you used to be able to 53 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: get it in your toaster. You put your toaster out 54 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: there for morning toasts and you'd hear WLW five hundred 55 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: thousand watts. And if the world goes sideways, Dan, if 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: for some reason that we're invaded by aliens or there's 57 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: some other cataclysmic event, it's one of the few radio 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: stations that will remain on the air. We're right out 59 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: there at Voice of America Plaza, out there just right 60 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: by the transmitter, which is a giant edifice stand that 61 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: looks like it tickles Mars. It's so big. 62 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, I read about it. I was very impressed. 63 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: You are the modern day You were the truth Social 64 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: before truth social existed. Trump Trump would try to acquire 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: you or make you the national station if he were 66 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: president back in nineteen thirty five or whatever. 67 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, right after Greenland, he may be 68 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: coming for us. Who knows. All right, So I wanted 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: to get you on to talk about the good and 70 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: the bad at Trump. I mean, there are plenty in 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: each column, There's no question about that. The thing I 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: think is if we just extract what these polls are 73 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: out there, which you know, I don't pay attention to them. 74 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: I think they're old metrics. I think political junkies like them. 75 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: I think the only poll accounts is election day. But 76 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: if you extract all of that and just say, for 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: the moment that, okay, Trump is probably at best underwater 78 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: by about eight points. In some polls conducted by left 79 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: wing organizations like CBS News, he's down by thirteen or 80 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: fourteen points, as you know, as I look at what 81 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: he's done, and we're not going to see the fruits 82 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: of this until later on this year. But this big 83 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: beautiful bill, which is now a big beautiful law that 84 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: was passed allegedly, we're getting tax cuts, no tax on tips, 85 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: reduced taxes, on social security, huge GDP growth, and you 86 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: know internationally Dan look out and Rod's nuclear capability extracted. 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: An illegal president in Venezuela, sees the oil fields that 88 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: rightfully belonged to the oil companies from America that were 89 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: run out by that by that government, and he stopped, 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, illegal immigration. So I think 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: on his good on his good column, on his got 92 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: it done column, I think it's rather it's rather you know, 93 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: lofty there. But the bad column, I think is the 94 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: thing that just overshadows all of that, unfortunately, and that 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: is we lost a lot of jobs in twenty twenty five, 96 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: didn't create a whole lot of jobs in twenty twenty five, 97 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: And there's still this, I guess, this disconnect between Wall 98 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: Street and Main Street. And I think that's what's probably 99 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: more than anything, dragging this guy down in the minds 100 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: of the public. Now, tell me where I'm wrong here 101 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: and where we should embellish. 102 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you have an excellent points. You know, 103 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: America wanted some of the things with regards to immigration 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: and paying it time, to the economy, which is what 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: he he ran on, and being strong across the world, 106 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: and Donald Trump's had a lot of wins. We'll give him. 107 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: We'll give him wins and some good policy ideas. The 108 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: challenges he faces, and you and I have talked about 109 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: this now for perhaps five years. Is sometimes his words 110 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: that he chooses aren't as winsome as I'd like him to. 111 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 2: And he follows he follows some of his big victories 112 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 2: with then words or behavior that people go, why is 113 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: he doing that? What's going on? And currently we know 114 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: we have the Greenland and even the last twenty four 115 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: hours he sends a note to the Prime Minister of 116 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: Norway talking about tying Greenland to the Nobel Prize, which 117 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, kind of shocked people. And now tariffs on Europe. 118 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: So that's just one example. In twenty twenty six, we 119 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: have a lot of great things going that he can 120 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country. 121 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: We've got to work on, you know, elections coming up, 122 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 2: and so if he does not adjust his words and 123 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: his flamboyancy, and it's going to be a tough year. 124 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: If the economy does get on back on track, he 125 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: can celebrate that and focus on that. But right now 126 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: I speak to groups about the winsome way, and I've 127 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: spoken some rotary groups recently, and even in the heartland 128 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: of America, which has traditionally been pretty strong for Trump, 129 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: there are people that are questioning the economy and for 130 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: sure his behavior. 131 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, the thing is, if anybody thought Trump was 133 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: going to be different in his behavior of verbiage from 134 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: Trump one point zero, they simply weren't paying attention. And 135 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: the second thing I would I would say to all 136 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: of that is Trump can't get a win in the media. 137 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: He can't the media roots against this guy. I mean, Dan, 138 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I worked in Washington, d C. I saw how the 139 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: sausage was. I worked in local television for forty five years. 140 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I know the kinds of people that populate both, and 141 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: they're populated greatly by people that simply don't embrace conservative 142 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: ways and our rooting openly. It seems at times for 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: this guy to fail, and so he gets frustrated. And 144 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: I think at times that frustration overwhelms him and he 145 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to deal with it. I don't think 146 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: he's got enough people around him, and this is probably 147 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: through his own doing. Who tell him. Look, let's step 148 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: back a second. Let's take a deep breath. Let's not 149 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: go down that road. And I think that's a major 150 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: problem for him too. You can't have a bunch of 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: yes people around you or you're doomed to fail. 152 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: Would you agree, absolutely? Yeah. I think Susie Wilds as 153 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: the chief of staff is a pretty strong that he 154 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: should listen to her more than listen to his number 155 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: two person there, Steven Miller. I think Steven Miller, for 156 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: whatever reason, was wounded in life and thinks he has 157 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 2: to constantly take it out on anything, any subject or 158 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 2: any person. And I think key plants seeds in the 159 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: president's here that the president then acts on and it 160 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: doesn't serve the president's persona. And I think this year 161 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: that there's got to be there will be a defining 162 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: moment that something will turn him around. I have noticed 163 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: that he does do some of these words. He likes 164 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: to just get a rise out of Democrats or a 165 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: rise out of the media. However, as you said, the 166 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: media takes that because they're trying to do their job 167 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: and they spin it negatively against the president. You know, 168 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: we do have the biggest things concerns being concerning all media, 169 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: social media to mainstream media. You and I have talked 170 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: about this for years, is that we're so divided. I 171 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: have friends that send me from the far left and 172 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: the far right. They send me videos and clips and shorts. 173 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: See how bad the right is, See how bad the 174 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 2: left is. And you know, I'm standing in the middle 175 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: trying to say, you know, flush out that. Hey, that's 176 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: fifteen percent on the left and fifteen percent on the right. 177 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: And the good people of Ohio, Cincinnati, or Kansas City, 178 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: or a good old Nebraska by the way, undefeated University 179 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: of Nebraska basketball at eighteen and no, we look at things. 180 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: So is Miami of Ohio. So is Miami of Ohio too. 181 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: They're only about bumbo. Okay, all right, So. 182 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: We get the radicals on both sides, and it's dividing 183 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: the country. And I just hate to see that. Minneapolis. 184 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: What's going on there is a horrible situation. 185 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. And I think what you're going to 186 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: see unfortunately in Minneapolis, unless it changes as quickly as 187 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: you are going to see some sort of military presence 188 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: in there, over and beyond the Ice agents. It's going 189 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: that way. They have a weak governor who is desperately 190 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: trying to distract everybody from the fact that he's one 191 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: of the most fraudulent governors in the history of America, 192 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: and he's got a mayor who's right up there with 193 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: him in Minneapolis, and it was matter from heaven when 194 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: all of this ice thing exploded in his town. It 195 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: distracted the public, and it obviously distracted the media, who 196 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: wasn't really a hip to the whole deception and fraud 197 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: that was going on up there. But be that as 198 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: it may, Yeah, I think we voted in twenty twenty 199 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: for a guy who turned out to be, you know, 200 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: adam minded to be kind about Joe Biden turned out 201 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: to be adamminded because we didn't like the way Trump 202 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: Trump behaved, we didn't like his tweets, we didn't like 203 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: the way he talked, and we saw what we got 204 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: over the course of twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five. 205 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Trump is it's incumbent upon Trump. 206 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: If he really wants to save the GOP in the 207 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: midterms and if he really wants somebody like JD. Vans 208 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: to carry on his legacy, he's going to have to 209 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: brush up and he's going to have to change. And 210 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: I just don't know if he's capable of that. 211 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I think he's pretty set in his ways. 212 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 2: You stay excellent point is that he is a little 213 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: bit sensitive. I'm surprising to me that a man that's 214 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: been that successful in life. You know, my background is 215 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: the referee and the politician. I always pick the hobbies 216 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 2: where you get heckled the most, right, So I think 217 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 2: I can he needs to maybe go referee of basketball 218 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: gate or where he's just very sensitive and I think 219 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: he just needs to tough him up a little bit, which, 220 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: as I don't think is going to happen. 221 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 222 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: Well, you said that there could be some event here 223 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: in this year that that could turn the tables one 224 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: way or the other for Trump, and I think he 225 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: desperately needs it. He's trying to create things, the things 226 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: that do that that turn the tables or change the 227 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: narrative or gets whatever maybe he's interested in, and that's 228 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: the success of his party going in another direction. Most 229 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: of the time, those things are organic. They don't grow 230 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: anywhere from somebody's idea and hey, we're going to have 231 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: this great idea or this mid term convention or something 232 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: like that. It's something that that's organic that usually popped 233 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: up when you have an event like that. Am I 234 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: right or wrong? 235 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. We do see a movement now and 236 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: smaller numbers. But it was of Republican senators and some 237 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: congressmen trying to suddenly get the attention of the president 238 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: by standing up to him on things like Greenland and 239 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: some of the different events the War Powers Act. And 240 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: so I think we may be good to have another 241 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: Republican meeting, a rally that they might have there in 242 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: Washington to talk about, Hey, how are we going to 243 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 2: get on the same ship. We don't always have to 244 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: drink the same my tie or the same drink on 245 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: the cruise ship, but let's get the cruise ship going 246 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: to the same place. 247 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: You know. I mean this whole thing with Greenland, and 248 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: it's you know again, it's a hot topic because Davos 249 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: is starting this week and Trump is going over there. 250 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: Trump isn't going to invade Greenland. I mean, that's a 251 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: fast track to an impeachment that would stick. That ain't happening. 252 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: And he's not going to buy Greenland. That we don't 253 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: have the money to buy Greenland. I suppose we could 254 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: print currency, but right now, if you haven't noticed, we've 255 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: print a lot of currency. I think what he's doing, 256 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: and this is obviously just a layman's analysis here, you 257 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: know far better than me. I think he's just trying 258 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: to get everybody's attention. What he really wants are the 259 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: minerals that lie beneath Greenland. Greenland's a miserable place for 260 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: about six months out of the year. I don't think anybody, 261 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: even the people that live in Greenland, really want to 262 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: be there, and so I think he's just trying to 263 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: get added or get more of those minerals out of 264 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: the ground that we need for things like pharmaceuticals and 265 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: a stronger military presence in Greenland because he doesn't want 266 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: China anywhere around that island. And I think all this 267 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: other stuff is just bluster and negotiating and controlling the 268 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: world narrative now is the world comes to a stage 269 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: again at Davos. That's what I think is going on 270 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: here with Greenland. I don't really think he wants it, 271 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. 272 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: It's going to be an interesting next couple of weeks 273 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: with Europe gathering together and some of both sides of 274 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: standing up and throwing their chests at each other and saying, hey, 275 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: you're not going to do this or I am going 276 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: to do this. I think President Trump has the right 277 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: idea in looking at what's the future of the world 278 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: when he even talked about Canada or agreement, but the 279 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: way that he went about it, his approach instead of 280 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: trying to say, hey, let's put our heads together and 281 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: see how we could keep the world safe for long 282 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 2: term twenty five years from now, but the way that 283 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: he just ruffled feathers so much. And that's his style 284 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: because he's a billionaire that's always been able to throw 285 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: money and power around and influence, and you can't always 286 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: do that when you're in the world of politics. 287 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: If the phone call came tonight from Susan Wils's chief 288 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: of staff to you, Dan Snell, knowing that you have 289 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: run for political office multiple times and you've written a 290 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: number of books The Winsome Way, The Winsome Candidate, and 291 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: knowing that you are at heart a Reagan Republican, and 292 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: Susan called you and she said, Dan, we need you 293 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: here in the White House where we need to start 294 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: advising the President as to what direction he needs to 295 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: go here in the next eight months so we're not 296 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: ambushed in November, because if the Democrats get in and 297 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: get control of the House in November, their first order 298 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: of business won't be anything that benefits you, me, or 299 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: anyone else. Their first order of business will be to 300 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: impeach Donald Trump. We know it's coming. So if she 301 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: called you and you say, okay, Susan, I'll be out 302 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: there tomorrow. I get on a NonStop flight right now 303 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. I'll see you tomorrow morning. As you 304 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: walked into the Oval office with Susan Wiles, and she said, 305 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Susan said, here is Dan Snell to help us out. 306 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: Mister President, what would you tell. 307 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: Him, Well, thank you for even thinking I could do that, 308 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: because I do. But I honestly believe I could make 309 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: a difference there in Washington, DC. I'd probably wear my 310 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: referee shirt and I'd walk in and say, mister President, 311 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: this is my college officiating shirt, and this is a whistle, 312 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: and I'm going to blow this whistle when I see 313 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 2: you doing something that's unsports than my conduct. It's hurting you, sir, 314 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 2: and it's hurting Republican Party, and it's hurting the court. 315 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: And the court is the game instead of basketball to 316 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 2: the United States. So yeah, I honestly believe. And sometimes 317 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 2: this happens around this time of the year where they 318 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 2: make some adjustments in the administration and officials leave and stay. 319 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: But what would you tell What would you tell him, though, Dan, 320 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: What would you say? What would your first order of 321 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: business be? I mean, blow the whistle? Great, you probably 322 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: get all the yes men in the office. The whistle blows, Hey, 323 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: we better go. But what would what would you specifically 324 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: tell him? 325 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 2: I'd say, mister President, I believe that I represent the 326 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: heartland of America, and probably that's about seventy percent across 327 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: the whole country, not just the heartland. But mister President, 328 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: you're you're off track. You're on the wrong course in 329 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 2: how you're going about some of these things. And I, sir, 330 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: want to serve you, to make you historically a great 331 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: legacy and the big America better. But the way you're 332 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: doing it, you're going to cause a big loss in 333 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: twenty six in the midterms, and you're going to end 334 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 2: up in the history books not the way you want 335 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 2: to do it. And so please listen to me. And 336 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: if you don't listen to me, I'm going to keep 337 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: pushing until you do.

So we've 404 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: seized the oil fields in Venezuela. We got Maduro out. 405 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: He's now in this country awaiting trial. He was an 406 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: illegal president, he was an illegal everything, dictator, whatever you 407 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: want to say. And so they got Maduro out. Not 408 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: sure who's in charge yet in Venezuela, but eventually whomever 409 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: this current administration wants in charge of Venezuela will wind 410 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: up there running it until they can hold free elections. 411 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: But one thing we did get back are the oil fields, 412 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: and those oil fields rightfully belong to people other than 413 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: the dictator that has just been extricated from Venezuela. 414 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: Now. 415 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump said two things this week. One that Venezuela 416 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: and whatever profits are realized from these oil fields that 417 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: are now under the USA's control, Venezuela will realize money 418 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: from that, as well as the companies that owned those 419 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: oil fields before they were run out by the Maduro government. 420 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: And also today, I was just watching Fox Business and 421 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: they had a guest on who was saying that we 422 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: will be knee deep in Venezuela oil for the foreseeable future. 423 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: And I said to myself, well that's good on one hand, 424 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: but perhaps bad on another hand for those that drove 425 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: baby drill here in the United States. So I wanted 426 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: to get a good guest of this program on and 427 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this about RT. Travino. He is not 428 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: only the guy who runs Peko's Country Energy, which is 429 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: a privately owned oil and gas exploration and production company 430 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: headquartered in the Fort Worth area of Texas. He is 431 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: also the man that the character Tommy Norris of Landman 432 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: was built around. Yeah, Billy Bob Thornton, I think, and 433 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: I'll confirm this in just a second. I think moved 434 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: in with R. T. Travino for about six months so 435 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: Billy Bob could study exactly what a landman like RT. 436 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: Travino does on the job. This is fascinating. If true, 437 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: I read this somewhere. I'm not sure, but let's confirm it. 438 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 6: RT. 439 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: Travino.

Trump 468 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: said six seven months ago the gasoline would eventually get 469 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: below two dollars a gallon. Now that we've got all 470 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: of this this oil from Venezuela, is that just going 471 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: to hasten the process of getting the price of a 472 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: gallon of gasoline below two dollars a gallon? 473 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 7: Well, you know, if I was a betman at twenty 474 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 7: sixteen when I voted against Hillary Clinton. 475 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have gotten that one righted. 476 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 7: If somebody asked me six months ago, will we ask 477 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 7: you to seat two dollars gasoline? 478 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 3: I wasn't sure. 479 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 7: It looks like we're definitely on pace, and there in Cincinnati, 480 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 7: that whole area remains relatively low compared to the national price, 481 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 7: and especially when you have the seasonal factors that have 482 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 7: been introduced and the ample global oil supply right now, 483 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 7: and let's not always forget about the great US production 484 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 7: levels that we have. 485 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: So it's just really great. 486 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 7: And with the Cincinnati somewhere just around like those prices 487 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 7: that you mentioned, they're still down significantly from last year. 488 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 3: How awesome is that? It is? 489 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 4: It is? 490 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: But now we've got this oil coming in from Venezuela, 491 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: and and I have visited enough in the past to 492 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: know that the oil that comes out of the ground 493 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: in Venezuela is called in the oil business dirty oil. 494 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: Might right about. 495 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 7: That, that's true that we try to use the word crude, 496 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 7: which just means it's got a lot more in there, 497 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 7: a lot of more crud in there, if you will. However, 498 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 7: that oil does so well here in America, not only 499 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 7: by into our refineries with our sweet Texas oil that 500 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 7: we get here in the great seat of Texas, but 501 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 7: also can for the refine. 502 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: For the strategic petroleum reserve. 503 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 7: We were able to refill our strategic petroleum reserve for 504 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 7: a lot less than in the past. And I've been 505 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 7: hearing numbers been thrown around, and I just want to 506 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 7: say that this as a what if, because years ago, 507 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 7: would President Trump during his first term tried to have 508 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 7: a Democrat led Congress purchase enough oil to refill the 509 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 7: strategic petroleum reserve. 510 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 3: They said no at twenty five dollars oil. 511 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 7: Okay, The what if Ruber right now, is that Venezuela 512 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 7: was selling that oil to China for thirty dollars a barrel. 513 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 7: So the rumor is that President Trump's going, Okay, we're 514 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 7: going to honor that same deal and we're going to 515 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 7: fill up the strategic reserve at thirty dollars barre oil, 516 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 7: which would be great for the nation. It doesn't hurt 517 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 7: the oil and gas companies of the United States, but 518 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 7: it also doesn't necessarily help us at the same time. Right, 519 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 7: But for as a country red and yellow, black and white, left, right, 520 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 7: it helps us out tremendously. 521 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely. And let's not forget the reserve is intended for 522 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: a national emergency. It's also intended for if God forbid, 523 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: we ever go to war. You know, I still think 524 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: there are people around here aret that around here, around everywhere. 525 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: They think, oh, now we have electric tanks and we 526 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: got electric trucks, and no, no, we aren't there. And 527 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: we're certainly not marching down that road as quickly as 528 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: we were under the past administration. So this is an 529 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: emergency reserve if this country needs it for whatever. It's 530 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: not something to be tapped into, as Biden did to 531 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: lower the price of a gasoline at the A gallon 532 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: of gasoline at the pump because you want to curry 533 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: more favor with voters. It wasn't intended for that. It 534 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: was intended for a national emergency for this country. So yes, 535 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm more than in favor of replenishing that and getting 536 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: it back to the levels that it was during Trump's 537 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: first administration. Now with regards to this oil, you've got 538 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: that sweet stuff that's coming out of the ground as 539 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: sweet crude. It's not crude. It's sweet oil coming out 540 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: of the out of the ground in Texas. And we've 541 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: got the crude or the dirty oil coming from Venezuela. 542 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: All that sounds good. We haven't built a refinery of 543 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: any note in this country in fifty years. How are 544 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: you going to refine all of this stuff? 545 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 3: You know? 546 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 7: That's that's the next question. It's about build, baby, build. 547 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 7: We have enough oil and natural gas to sustain the 548 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 7: United States combine combined. 549 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: Well, let me say that again. We have enough combined. 550 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 7: However, we don't have the infrastructure, all refining abilities to 551 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 7: do that. Really a lot with the natural gas because 552 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 7: as a nation, the United States uses twenty to one 553 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 7: million barrels of oil a day, Okay, or bos boat 554 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 7: barrels of oil equivalent, and we produce almost fourteen. 555 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 3: Million barrels of oil a day, and. 556 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 7: The estimates on how much natural gas we flare every 557 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 7: day are monstrous. So we really need to be able 558 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 7: to capture that natural gas to really lower all these 559 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 7: prices even more. 560 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, the price of a gallon of gasoline. People 561 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: always say, okay, yeah, So if the price of a 562 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: gallon of gasoline that we take out of the barrel, 563 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the price of a gallon of gasoline visa 564 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: be the barrel of oil. How does that affect me 565 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: at the pump? And it's not just well, we can 566 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: get it out of the ground cheaper, because if the 567 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: price of crude falls too far, we're dealing with businessmen here. 568 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: We're not dealing with you know, entrepreneurs or philanthropists or 569 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: people that want to make other people feel good. You're 570 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: in business to make money. That's the way it works. 571 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: But if that price of crude falls too far, then 572 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: the American producers are going to cut back and then 573 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: because it would be less profitable to drill. So, I mean, 574 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: there's a delicate balance you have to have between the 575 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: price of a barrel of oil vis a v what 576 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: it does to you and me and everybody else at 577 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: the gas pump. Can you explain that relationship? If it 578 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: goes too low, I might say, well, we'll just let 579 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: that set there until that price starts coming back up. 580 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 7: You are absolutely correct, and to give back to just 581 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 7: your other question about refineries, absolutely be so important for 582 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 7: us for build another refinery right now, and that could 583 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 7: be what part of the strategic play is of the 584 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 7: majors with looking for certainties, because if we could guarantee 585 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 7: x amount of barrels of venezuela and crude coming to 586 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 7: American to be refined every day, that would also lower 587 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 7: the price asaline. 588 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 3: And then it is a business. It is business. 589 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 7: It's a free market, it's business one oh one, which 590 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 7: is all we all going to make profit. The Great 591 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 7: Harold Ham was just on one of the news outlets 592 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 7: this weekend sharing that at some point it's going to 593 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 7: be too expensive for all oil Producersduce that is correct. 594 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 3: As an independent papers. 595 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 7: We have a lot lower threshold. But for some of 596 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 7: these mid majors that sixty dollars is the number. They're 597 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 7: not far off from having to just stopped producing, which 598 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 7: will then mean loss of jobs and that we will 599 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 7: see oil production go down, and that's not something we want. 600 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 7: So we have to find that middle ground. And right 601 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 7: now I think we have a president that is actually 602 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 7: resetting the economic stature, not only here in America. 603 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: Which he's making it great, but he's that in the world. 604 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 7: Know that nobody can do anything without the United States 605 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 7: of America exactly. 606 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: And this then chokes off oil supply to places like 607 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: Cuba or place is like China, and that all of 608 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: a sudden, rather than having a free spicket in Venezuela, 609 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: they're going to have to do business with us. But again, 610 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: and I want to get to I don't want to 611 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: get too deep in the weeds on the oil and 612 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: gas industry. You know it far better than anybody that 613 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: is sitting in this studio right now or might be 614 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: out there. This light crude that the US produces, it's 615 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: cheaper to refine, and most of our refineries are designed 616 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: to process a mix of that light crude and that 617 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: dirty crude from Venezuela. But it seems to me that 618 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: it costs more to refine this oil from Venezuela. Am 619 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: I right about that? Even if there's mixed. If there's 620 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: mixed refineries there, it has to cost more. If it's 621 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: just stuff that's not as sweet as what comes out 622 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: of the ground in Texas. Therefore, it might not affect 623 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: the price of a gallon of gasoline as well as 624 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: what we think it might be. Am am I connecting 625 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: the dots here, or am I wrong? 626 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: Ken? 627 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 7: What we have here in America is the majority of 628 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 7: the refinery is I would say a strong seventy five 629 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 7: percent of the refiners in America are not built to 630 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 7: actually refine the sweet Texas crude. They are actually built 631 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 7: and designed to refine that cheap or the lesser expensive oil, 632 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 7: like in Venezuela in the Middle East, where we were 633 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 7: getting millions and millions of barrels of oil from a day. 634 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 7: A lot of our oil actually gets refined out at 635 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 7: other places and then may or may not come back 636 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 7: to us. So again, getting back the refinery question, we 637 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 7: absolutely need a new refinery. We could use two or 638 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 7: three several years ago, if I remember correctly, then one 639 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 7: of the very first times I got to meet with 640 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 7: you was because Exon Mobile had just refurbished part of 641 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 7: an old refinery into Now we're being able to refine 642 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 7: two hundred and fifty thousand barrels of Sweet Texas old crude. 643 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 7: And that was a huge, huge move, And so we 644 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 7: need more things like that in the future to truly 645 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 7: be able to become independent, not only in all the 646 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 7: other ways, but most importantly in energy independence. 647 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: Here all right, So I rattled off some numbers here 648 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: in the Greater Cincinnati area.

When the report comes out, like, 816 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 4: I hope it's like a bunnybone, were like, oh, Jamie 817 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 4: was going to fight. I just can't have a report like, 818 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 4: you know, Jamie's car went off the road on his 819 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 4: way to rooster Te Feathers. I just can't. 820 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: Oh, my god, at what age? And I have some 821 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: serious questions because I, you know, I'm fascinated by your business. 822 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 1: At what age did you realize you could make people laugh? 823 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,760 Speaker 4: So honestly, I would say at about ten years old, 824 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 4: my default was comedy. So like, even at like ten, eleven, twelve, 825 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 4: if I was in trouble, or if I was stressed 826 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 4: out or the parents were acting strange, I noticed that 827 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 4: my default before anything else was to try to make 828 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 4: everyone laugh. And then it was not until many, many 829 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 4: years later, even after watching Rodney Danderfield's Young Comedian especially, 830 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 4: it took years for me to realize that people could 831 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 4: do that as a job. I thought they did that 832 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 4: but also had other jobs. My whole life, I thought, oh, 833 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 4: comedians probably you know, during the day, their accountants or something. 834 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 4: I didn't know it was a full time job. And 835 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 4: so when I got older, and really I was actually 836 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 4: in law school, for a solid week and when I 837 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 4: when I found out you could do this for a living, 838 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 4: and I dropped out of law school after a week 839 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 4: with my father's support, and I ended up trying stand 840 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,239 Speaker 4: up And that was thirty years ago. 841 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: Did you work on routines at that young age? I mean, 842 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: were you working up material at that point? 843 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 4: So in about maybe like fourteen or fifteen, I was embarrassing, 844 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 4: but I'd be in my basement and I had a 845 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 4: microphone that was not even it was not even plugged in, 846 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 4: and it was just a microphone, and I would pretend 847 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 4: I was talking to people. And years later I was 848 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,359 Speaker 4: performing at a comedy club in my hometown of Rush 849 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 4: to New York and my neighbor and it was like 850 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 4: packed and it was exciting. And my neighbor told me 851 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 4: she used to come and listen to me outside of 852 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 4: my basements when I was performing for no one. 853 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: I think Buddy Hackett got started the same way. 854 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 4: I think so might the same I had. 855 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: That woman arrested, might have had the same neighbor. I 856 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,719 Speaker 1: don't know, do comedians like each other or because I mean, 857 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: you're you were on all these specials and you've been uh, 858 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: Rob Schneider has been very good to you, and I 859 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: just wonder if they like each other or if it's 860 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: you get in a room and they're all trying to 861 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: one help each other. How does that work. 862 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 4: I would say it's almost like there's two groups of 863 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 4: comics if I was only going to separate them into 864 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 4: like group A and Group B, and there are there 865 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 4: is a huge like community of comedians that just want 866 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 4: each other to succeed, and you kind of find out 867 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 4: who they are early on and all my friends, like 868 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 4: my favorite phone call is when one of my openers 869 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 4: tells me I got to cancel because I'm headlining, I 870 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 4: can't open for you. And I go, that's the best, 871 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,720 Speaker 4: That's what I want for them. And I surround myself 872 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 4: with like Rob Schneider, like that man is more excited 873 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 4: for me than I am excited for myself, no kidding, 874 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 4: Like he is so excited, and I think we sort 875 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 4: of like, because I'm like that, I tend to be 876 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 4: around people like that. But you are absolutely right that 877 00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 4: there is the opposite of that, where it's a little 878 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 4: bit more cutthroat and competitive. But those guys aren't in 879 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 4: my friend group. You know, those guys kind of are 880 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 4: on their own thing. So I kind of prefer it 881 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 4: this way in comedy and also in all things, you know, 882 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 4: like where we all kind of root for each other, 883 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 4: there's room for everybody, you know, it's like there's only 884 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 4: one slot. 885 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: No, no, I know, I totally agree with that. I 886 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: think there's I think it's that way in a lot 887 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: of creative businesses. And sometimes you get caught up in 888 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,280 Speaker 1: your own bs and all of a sudden you're surrounded 889 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: by people that couldn't care less about you, And what 890 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: a terrible place to be. You you write, it seems 891 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: like a lot. Do you write for the gut Feld 892 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: Show as well? 893 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 4: You know what's funny? 894 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 8: Man? 895 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 4: I have as a like a fill in when there's 896 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 4: an emergency. But my problem is, I'll be totally honest 897 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 4: with you. When I write a good joke, I do 898 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,239 Speaker 4: not want to give that the great guess. I'll like 899 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 4: to keep that for myself. But there's other guys who 900 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 4: are more joke machines, like a Joe Devido, a Joe Mackey, 901 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 4: a Cat Tents, and so they are the regular writers 902 00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 4: in the show. I will certainly fill in, but I 903 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 4: will admit my best shows will probably stay in my pockets? 904 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 4: How happy to fill in? 905 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: How often do you write? In other words, I mean 906 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: you've had specials and things like that, and you don't 907 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: want to repeat the same jokes constantly. Like I love 908 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: Rodney Dangerfield, but Rodney Dangerfield to tell the same joke 909 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: and then three years later he's telling the same joke. 910 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: I think he was a genius, don't get me wrong, 911 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: but the comedian is out there long enough. You don't 912 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: want to have stale materials. So how often do you write? 913 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 1: Are you writing every day? 914 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? And like I try to make sure we go 915 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 4: back to market. It's usually like a year at least 916 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 4: imageween markets, And when we do theaters, we go back 917 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 4: a year and a half later. And the goal is 918 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 4: if somebody came to that first show and they come 919 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 4: to that second or eighteen months later, it's a gotta 920 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 4: be ninety nine percent of a new show. So they 921 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 4: come back that third time in that fourth time, and 922 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 4: it's creating a new experience for them. And so I 923 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 4: do work really hard at that. And I also try 924 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 4: to work very hard at every show that I do. 925 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,319 Speaker 4: Even if you came to, you know, the Friday late 926 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 4: show at the Funny moone and then the Saturday and 927 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 4: early show. I think those would be a little different too. 928 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 4: I think each one would sort of have its own thing. 929 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 4: I try to keep it like, you know, not like interactive, 930 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 4: like I'm doing croudwork. I have my hour, but I 931 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 4: will certainly invite it to be a little bit different 932 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 4: than if you just watched this on television. Like I 933 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 4: know you're there, we can talk to each other and 934 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 4: it's like a night out that it's going to be unique, 935 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 4: even if it's in the same weekend. But yeah, I 936 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 4: would say like a new hour every year and a 937 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 4: half is probably is the goal. 938 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 1: And you've been to Cincinnati before, right, I mean, this 939 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: isn't a virgin trip for you. 940 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 4: In here, right, many times I did visit when it 941 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 4: was a virgin I believe it or not. And when 942 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 4: I yeah, I have definitely been to Cincinnati before before 943 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 4: Guts Held, when I performed there, I'll be honest with you, 944 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 4: no one else was there a lot of room to 945 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 4: stretch out, a lot of emptycas But I've been back 946 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 4: I think twice since guts Ald, and it has been 947 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 4: it's one of the warmest welcomes I've ever received. This 948 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 4: is not a joke. The first time I went to 949 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 4: the Liberty Funnybone, it is not a joke at all, 950 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 4: not a bit. I pulled up to the club and 951 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 4: there's a huge line outside, and I go to the 952 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 4: manager like, ah, man, what's going on tonight? What are 953 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 4: we competing with? And he goes, what are you talking about? 954 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 4: Those people are there to see you? And I go, yeah, 955 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 4: what everybody? I thought he was doing a bit. I 956 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 4: thought I was joking that they were all there for 957 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 4: my show. And so I have like a special place 958 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 4: in my heart at that Liberty Funny One because it 959 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,280 Speaker 4: was the first place I was like, whoa, you're telling 960 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 4: me people are really coming to actually see me. And so, yeah, 961 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 4: I love Sincenty. I've probably been there, I'm not even 962 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,319 Speaker 4: kid like, maybe twenty times in the last you know, 963 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 4: thirty years. 964 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: But you don't get out right, I mean, you go 965 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 1: to these towns and you do the show, you go back, 966 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 1: you relax and whatnot. It's not like you go sight 967 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: seeing it like for a two days stop here. You're 968 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: not going to be out taking in the sits going 969 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: to a ballgame or something like that. 970 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,959 Speaker 4: Right, you know, I do travel with my wife now 971 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 4: and so she has been good at getting me to 972 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 4: do a little more of the local stuff that is 973 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 4: in each town. Like we don't get too crazy because 974 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 4: we do get little hire for the shows that everywhere 975 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 4: we go, we do try to do one thing. Would 976 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,320 Speaker 4: you have a recommendation for us on the thirtieth Cincinnati? 977 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 4: Is there something you think people should do in Cincinnati 978 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 4: where they live? 979 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 1: Well, on January thirtieth, it would be an inside recreational thing. 980 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend going outside to do anything on January 981 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: the thirtieth in this town. 982 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 4: But I mean, I, like you said, Skyline Chili.

I was like, 1001 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 4: I felt like I was like middle of the road, 1002 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 4: not that. And afterwards, I go to the bar next 1003 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 4: door and this guy catched on the shoulder and he goes, hey, man, 1004 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 4: I'm great, gus Old you know I hosted.

We were both 1016 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 4: wearing the same outfit and these dumb black glasses that 1017 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 4: everyone used to wear back then, and so people thought 1018 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 4: he was me and told him he was funny, and 1019 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 4: he goes, oh, that's good enough for me, And that's 1020 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 4: how I met great. They put me on. That's a 1021 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 4: true story. 1022 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: It's a great show when ever you're on. I've often 1023 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: wondered about this, So can I just can I take 1024 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: you from where we are right now to reality and 1025 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: suspend reality for a moment and go to a place 1026 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: that may not ever happen. Right we were about to 1027 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: be invaded by space aliens and they're coming to Earth, 1028 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: and the only thing that can that saves mankind would 1029 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: be to deliver the funniest joke ever. Who would be 1030 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: the candidate to deliver the funniest joke ever to save 1031 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: mankind from space aliens? Would it be Tom Shalou, Joe Mackei, 1032 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:24,799 Speaker 1: or you? 1033 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 3: That is? 1034 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 4: That is a tough one. I feel like I would 1035 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 4: choose Tom Shalou if we felt like we had all 1036 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:34,479 Speaker 4: lived long enough. 1037 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: I asked him the same question. Go with Mackie, Okay, 1038 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: all right, all right, I think you're underselling yourself there, Jamie. 1039 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 1: I think you're underselling. 1040 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 4: Yourself it'sry to put myself in that position for mankind. 1041 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: But you, but you could, but you could save humanity. 1042 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: So this is January the thirtieth and the thirty first 1043 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,440 Speaker 1: end of the month at the Funny Bone, which is 1044 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: a great venue, it really is.

It's the average 1080 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: American in for the Great American on this Monday, News 1081 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: Radio seven hundred w l W one nine News Radio 1082 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW on this Monday, it's the average American 1083 00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 1: in for the Great American. No seg today, that means 1084 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,879 Speaker 1: no stooge report. Oh, I'll try to carry on here. 1085 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,880 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills fired head coach to Sean McDermott, today 1086 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,120 Speaker 1: after another season that failed to end in a Super 1087 00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 1: Bowl appearance. But they've taken the guy that was the 1088 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,200 Speaker 1: GM elevated him to president and so he is now 1089 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:18,760 Speaker 1: the president. 1090 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1091 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,399 Speaker 1: I think McDermott's going to find another gig. I mean, 1092 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 1: there's so many gigs that are open right now. You 1093 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: would think, off the top of your head, maybe Pittsburgh, 1094 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 1: although McDermott may come off a little soft for the 1095 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh crowd. I could see him going to Cleveland. Baltimore 1096 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 1: would have to be interested now, and maybe even a 1097 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:49,279 Speaker 1: team like Miami, you know. I mean, he had some 1098 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: success in Buffalo during the regular season with Josh Allen, 1099 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: but his team, his teams couldn't get over the hump 1100 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They've got a new stadium that's up 1101 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,479 Speaker 1: in Buffalo right now that's going to open next year, 1102 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: so I'm sure the owner wants new everything, and that stadium, 1103 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, is financed through not only public 1104 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: but private money. I think the family that owns the 1105 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 1: Bills is the Pagoula family. They also own the hockey 1106 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 1: team in that town. They put up one point two 1107 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:23,960 Speaker 1: to five billion to help finance that stadium. The state, 1108 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: I guess kicked in like eight hundred and fifty million, 1109 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm sure he wanted the owner wanted a 1110 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 1: fresh start, but they seem to have thrown the baby 1111 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: out with the bathwater on that one. And already you're 1112 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: seeing some blowback from current Bills players. They're saying this 1113 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. But nevertheless, Buffalo is now on 1114 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 1: the list of teams that are looking for a new 1115 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: head coach, and Zach Tanner remains the last man standing 1116 00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 1: in the AFC North. Tonight is Championship Night in college 1117 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: football Indiana Miami. They're playing it real close to the 1118 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 1: University of Miami's campus, although the price is down there 1119 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,520 Speaker 1: for these tickets are so high that it probably is 1120 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 1: going to be more of a fifty to fifty split 1121 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: in that crowd and not just necessarily all Miami. And 1122 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 1: the other thing that's going on here too is Indiana's 1123 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: Somebody asked Kurt Signetti at the media day the other 1124 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 1: day what it's fair to be to call Indiana University 1125 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 1: and what has transpired there this season a Cinderella story. 1126 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: Here's what the Indiana head coach said. 1127 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 9: Well, I think that's a fact. If you look at 1128 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 9: the record since Indiana started playing football and relative to 1129 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 9: the success we've had the last two years, we've broken 1130 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 9: a lot of records here in terms of wins, championships, 1131 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 9: postseason games, top ten wins on the road, et cetera, 1132 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 9: top ten wins period and so you know, it's been 1133 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 9: kind of surreal. Uh but you know, you get it 1134 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 9: done with the right people, properly led, and you gotta 1135 00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 9: have a blueprint plan, uh process. You gotta have the 1136 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 9: right people on your staff and the right people in 1137 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 9: the walker room. 1138 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have Fernando Mendoza. That hasn't hurt. Heisman 1139 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,120 Speaker 1: Trophy winner. He of course grew up in Miami, so 1140 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: this is a homecoming of sorts for him. He was 1141 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: talking about that just late last week. 1142 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, I would say the meaning it means so much 1143 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 10: to myself and my family having growing up in Miami, 1144 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 10: growing up a University of Miami fan, and basically whole 1145 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 10: identity being, you know, a Cuban living in Miami whose grandparents, 1146 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 10: all four grandparents, you know, immigrated from Cuba to Miami, 1147 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,840 Speaker 10: made their way, had the American dream. And you know, 1148 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 10: I've been so thankful to them and thankful to God 1149 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 10: I've been able to you know, have a good you know, 1150 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 10: childhood and them raising me by accomplishing the American dream. 1151 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 10: And I think it just means so much to my family, 1152 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 10: as you know, playing in Miami against the University of Miami. 1153 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: You know, the kind of the journey. 1154 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 10: It's kind of like a full circle moment, but also 1155 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,360 Speaker 10: means a lots of a lot of my teammates and 1156 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 10: coaches and also everybody in Who's Your Nation just because 1157 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 10: it is the national championship. 1158 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,920 Speaker 1: Jack Pose joins us here now on seven hundred wylw. 1159 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 1: He covers the Indiana Who's Yours for? I think a 1160 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,000 Speaker 1: terrific website when it comes to Indiana athletics, more basketball 1161 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: centric maybe than football, but I think that's about to change. 1162 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,880 Speaker 1: And I guess you know, when you look at at Mendoza, 1163 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 1: he's he's nothing but efficient at quarterback. That's one of 1164 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,640 Speaker 1: the reasons why he and they are so successful. 1165 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 6: Is that fair to say, oh, one hundred percent, I'd 1166 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 6: agree it really is. Ken every single week that he's efficient. 1167 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 6: I can count more times than not that he's had 1168 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 6: more touchdown passes that he's had Incompletioncy that I think 1169 01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,000 Speaker 6: thirty one of thirty six in these last two games 1170 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 6: with eight touchdowns. That is incredibly efficient. He has some 1171 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 6: great throws and there's just no duds. He'll always find 1172 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 6: his receiver, and even his dad throws, even those zero 1173 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 6: yard games look like NFL throws because he goes through 1174 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 6: his progressions. He's a pro style quarterback. He can run 1175 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 6: a little bit, and he is just a steady presence 1176 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 6: for a steady offense that is just high powered as 1177 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 6: we've seen these last filt let's say, fifteen games. 1178 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: He also is somebody that has commanded the field. Look, 1179 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 1: there are a lot of quarterbacks, as you well know, 1180 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 1: in college football, there's system quarterbacks. They get the team 1181 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they 1182 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 1: do is look over to the sideline to see what 1183 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,680 Speaker 1: play is being called, and that day, in essence, become 1184 01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: a robot. Certainly the players are coming in from the sideline. 1185 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 1: He's not up there freelancing. But I get the sense 1186 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: that when a play starts to break down, when that 1187 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: call from the sideline or from the box isn't exactly right. 1188 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Get the sense with him, he's not flustered, and he 1189 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: understands exactly what his options are. He sees the field, 1190 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: he commands the field. I think so well, does that come, 1191 01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 1: in your opinion, from maturity, the fact that he is 1192 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: older and he's not some seventeen eighteen year old kid 1193 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 1: that's out there trying to make an offense go, or 1194 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 1: does that come from someplace else? 1195 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 6: I really think he's just a mature quarterback, is very smart. 1196 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 6: He's someone that idolizes Tom Brady, and realistically he is 1197 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 6: kind of that Tom Brady sensive. He can read the 1198 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 6: field like no tomorrow. In about a second and a half, 1199 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 6: he'll go through his progressions. He knows where he wants 1200 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 6: to go. If that's not open, he'll go. He can 1201 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 6: read the defense just about as good as anybody I've 1202 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 6: ever seen, both high school, college and pro. And maybe 1203 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 6: I hadn't been around as long as some other people, 1204 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,360 Speaker 6: but he probably is the best quarterback in just seeing 1205 01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 6: the field and knowing and going through hiss. And they're 1206 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 6: not really a checkout able team with Kurt Signetti. So 1207 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 6: maybe it is the play calling and Mike chen Hans 1208 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 6: done a really good job the offensive coordinator. But when 1209 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,840 Speaker 6: you have a guy like Bernana Mendoza, Your playbook opens 1210 01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,080 Speaker 6: more because of just how mature he is. 1211 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 1: Just a little bit about the defense. They have got 1212 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: some obviously some terrific players. Aiden Fisher, the senior transfer, 1213 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: he's the mic, he's the middle linebacker. Absolutely, just terrific. 1214 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: A little bit about him because he seems to be 1215 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,760 Speaker 1: the heart and soul of that Indiana defense. What's what's 1216 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: his story? How has he progressed this year? For those 1217 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 1: that might not have seen all of the Indiana. 1218 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 6: Games, he went from all Big ten to all Americans 1219 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 6: in my opinion this year. Ken he is the he's 1220 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 6: the vocal leader off the field too, but he he 1221 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,480 Speaker 6: wears the coach to player dot. So everybody trusts Aiden 1222 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 6: Fisher and he leads the team in total tackles the 1223 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:08,560 Speaker 6: other night with nine. But it's the guys that surround 1224 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 6: him that make him so good. He they trust their captain, 1225 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 6: they trust him, they look to him for every single play. 1226 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 6: And there's a reason for it because he's earned that spot. 1227 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 6: He's in his fourth year with Kurtzaghetti and defensive coordinator 1228 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 6: Bryant Hayines Aidane Fisher is one of those guys that 1229 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 6: he just keeps progressing. He keeps improving his draft stock, 1230 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 6: but he's not doing it for himself. He does it 1231 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,920 Speaker 6: for his team, and that's why he's so good. 1232 01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: I watched, obviously, the Ohio State game championship game, and 1233 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: the defense was terrific. And so was a player in 1234 01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 1: that game that I want to give a little bit 1235 01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,880 Speaker 1: of attention to, and that was Isaiah Jones, who's an 1236 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 1: Ohio guy. He's from right up the road between here 1237 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,760 Speaker 1: and Columbus London, Ohio had terrific game against Ohio State. 1238 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,960 Speaker 1: I'll watch him even in games where you look at 1239 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 1: the numbers and you say to yourself, well, okay, I 1240 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: don't see the numbers, but a boy, did I see 1241 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 1: him flying around? The UCLA game comes immediately to mind 1242 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: a little bit about Isaiah Jones because it seems to 1243 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 1: me that he doesn't really get the attention I think 1244 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: he deserves. Do you feel that as well? 1245 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 6: I think that him nor Elijah Hardy, the other linebacker, 1246 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 6: get the attention they deserve. Everything really goes to Ayden 1247 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,960 Speaker 6: Fisher deservingly, should I say, But Isaiah Jones and Elijah 1248 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 6: Hardy make this defense go Indiana. Brian Haines just runs 1249 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 6: some incredible skime. He schemes incredible blitzes. He puts Jones 1250 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 6: and Hardy in in great positions to succeed. But he 1251 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,919 Speaker 6: flies all over the place, does Isaiah Jones. He he's 1252 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 6: someone that goes under the radar, but as soon as 1253 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 6: you see him coming off the edge, it's it's game 1254 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 6: over if he gets around that offensive lineman or whoever is 1255 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 6: going to attempt to block me. Five tackles for loss 1256 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 6: is the other day, and the sacks might not come 1257 01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 6: in in Indiana really only had three, and two of 1258 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 6: them came from Daniel and Dukeway. But it starts with 1259 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 6: that trio of linebackers with Fisher, with Joanes and with 1260 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 6: Elijah Hardy. So he's one of those guys that he 1261 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 6: stuck around after Tom Allen was tired. He begged to 1262 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 6: get on to the roster under Kurtzignetti. 1263 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,439 Speaker 4: And Bryan Taydes. And he's really. 1264 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 6: Done a fantastic job. Might not have done a whole 1265 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 6: lot last year, but he has just gotten better, even 1266 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 6: more so than Aiden. Fisher just keeps getting better and 1267 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 6: he's really he's only a junior. He'll be back next 1268 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 6: year and he'll likely be taking that Aiden fisher role. 1269 01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 1: All right, we're chatting with Josh Poe's Inside the Hall 1270 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: dot com, great destination for all things i U athletics. 1271 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 1: All right, here comes Miami. It's a home game for Miami. 1272 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 1: As you look at that game, what do you think 1273 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: Miami does? That presents the biggest problem for Indiana either 1274 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 1: side of the ball. 1275 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 6: It has to be their defense. Can they Ruben Bain 1276 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 6: Junior is one of the best defensive linemen I have 1277 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 6: seen in college football. That defensive front scares me the most. 1278 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 6: But if you look at Indiana's offensive line, they've had 1279 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 6: a couple of hiccups in games, but they seem to 1280 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 6: patch it up. So it really boils down to the 1281 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 6: trenches as it does in most college football games at 1282 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 6: this point. But I think if the defensive line play 1283 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 6: for Miami shows up, then we're going to have a really, really, 1284 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 6: really good game. 1285 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 1: Let's flip that just a little bit. Because Malachai Tony 1286 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: is the big target for Beck's got nine touchdown passes. CJ. 1287 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Daniels is terrific as well, He's got seven. He put 1288 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,960 Speaker 1: in Keelan Marion who has seven, and all of a sudden, 1289 01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,640 Speaker 1: you've got a trio of receivers that Carson Beck and 1290 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 1: throw to. And then of course you have Mark Fletcher. 1291 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Fletcher is he'll probably finish this year somewhere north of 1292 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,360 Speaker 1: eleven hundred and fifty yards. He's their go to guy 1293 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,439 Speaker 1: and me he's averaging five four or five five per 1294 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: game per carry, and he's the guy that go to 1295 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 1: when they want to run, and they want to run 1296 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: and they want to get the ball in the end 1297 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,240 Speaker 1: zone running. So I'm just wondering, from an offensive standpoint 1298 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 1: against that Indiana defense, which has played very, very well, 1299 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: how do you see that scenario playing out. 1300 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 6: I think it's going to be fascinating. You always see 1301 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 6: this time of your team, unless it's a rematch. You here, Oh, 1302 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 6: Miami's never seen a team like Indiana, or Indiana has 1303 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 6: never seen an offense like Miami. I think that Miami's 1304 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,679 Speaker 6: really hot right now. They're very streaky. I mean, Carson 1305 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,800 Speaker 6: Beck has been up and down in the in the 1306 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 6: two losses this year, he's been he's been strugglings. He's 1307 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 6: backed up right now. Malachai Tony, you talk about Carson 1308 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 6: Beck being forty something years old, Tony just turned eighteen 1309 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 6: a couple months ago, so he was impressive. I think 1310 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:13,839 Speaker 6: this Indiana defense, if you give Kurt Signetti and Bryant 1311 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 6: Haynes time to prepare, they will know everything that you 1312 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 6: do and everything that you'll run. I think that Miami's 1313 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 6: offense plays really hard, really quick, like you said, but 1314 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 6: it's up to Indiana's defense. They've been able to control 1315 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. They've been able to control well, 1316 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 6: everything in front of them. They don't get beat deep. 1317 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,640 Speaker 6: That was a little bit of an issue early in 1318 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 6: the season. They gave up a seventy five years touchdown 1319 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 6: on the first play of their season, mind you, and 1320 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 6: then a big one against Illinois. But that doesn't happen anymore. 1321 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 6: They've got the guys. So I think this could be 1322 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 6: a low scoring game, at least for Miami. 1323 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh pose inside Thehall dot Com, as he wrote 1324 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: in his game story, making history is all Indiana knows 1325 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 1: right now. The Hoosiers, I'm not reciting Othello to Shakespeare here, Josh, 1326 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 1: so just don't get too wrapped up in what I'm 1327 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 1: doing here. But the Hoosiers, he said, became the first 1328 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: team since eighteen ninety six to score fifty five points 1329 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,760 Speaker 1: or more and win by thirty points or more in 1330 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 1: seven different games in a single season, two of which 1331 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 1: came against top ten opponents. That's just how good it 1332 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 1: is right now at Indiana and for an IU football fan. 1333 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,559 Speaker 1: All right, Josh, I'll be looking to see what you're 1334 01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 1: right from today on out. But for your time today, 1335 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 1: thank you and good luck. Enjoy the game, Okay, thanks, Jed. 1336 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: I will yeah, seven and a half points. That's the 1337 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 1: current spread I'm looking at here. It is Miami plus 1338 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 1: seven and a half. I think Indiana covers. I think 1339 01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Indiana wins this game handily. No disrespect to the you. 1340 01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 1: I just think the ad is just stronger on all 1341 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. We'll see. That's why they play 1342 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 1: the games. It's one fifty four straight ahead. Red flags. 1343 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 1: Red flags in the hiring process, jobs are tough to 1344 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 1: come by, and if they are, and if you're interviewing, 1345 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 1: avoid this when you're trying to get hired. We'll get 1346 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: into that at two o'clock. Then down the road. This 1347 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: is the this is the bluest day of the year 1348 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 1: emotionally for people. Why is that. We'll get into that 1349 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: as well. It's the average American in for the great 1350 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: American glad you're a long two on seven hundred w 1351 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: l W. All Right off we go on hour number 1352 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,680 Speaker 1: three to all eight here in the tri State, bracing 1353 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 1: for what could be Isa Geddon. It's gonna be cold 1354 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 1: tonight and it looks like there might be some some snow. 1355 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,559 Speaker 1: Lare in looking at some of the national models. No, no, 1356 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 1: not those models, just the you know, the weather stuff. 1357 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Looks like it could be an adventurous weekend coming up. Nevertheless, 1358 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 1: here we are back again, the average American in for 1359 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: the great American. If you're looking for a job, you know, 1360 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,360 Speaker 1: it's not an easy thing to do. Well, it's easy, 1361 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: I guess to look, it's not an easy thing to 1362 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 1: land a job. I mean, just look at the twenty 1363 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:30,280 Speaker 1: twenty five stats. In calendar year twenty twenty five, this, 1364 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 1: according to the government, about five hundred and eighty four 1365 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 1: thousand jobs were added. You say, Ken, that sounds like 1366 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 1: a lot. No, it was one of the weakest years 1367 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,479 Speaker 1: for job growth since the pandemic. That's about forty nine 1368 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 1: thousand jobs per month, far less than the two million 1369 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: jobs that were added in the final year of Joe 1370 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 1: Biden's administration. Joe Biden two million jobs added. Now, again 1371 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,839 Speaker 1: we can quibble on the numbers and what those jobs 1372 01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 1: were and why those jobs were added, because a lot 1373 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,519 Speaker 1: of companies were back on their feet. They had let 1374 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 1: people go or they shut down certain operations during COVID, 1375 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,519 Speaker 1: and they had a higher back up to get back 1376 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 1: on their feet. But by and large, it was not 1377 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 1: a good year for jobs in this country. And so 1378 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: now here you may be in twenty twenty six thinking 1379 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to maybe enhance myself here. I'd like maybe 1380 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 1: to make a little bit more money, work at a 1381 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 1: place that's more tailored towards me. Four point four percent 1382 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 1: of the population is out of work. That's about seven 1383 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,040 Speaker 1: and a half million people. The biggest demographic that's out 1384 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 1: of work are teens. About sixteen percent of the I 1385 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: guess employee eligible teens are out of work. So if 1386 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:45,920 Speaker 1: you're out there and you're looking for a job, there 1387 01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,719 Speaker 1: are a few do's and don'ts. They're the obvious ones, 1388 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,400 Speaker 1: and that is, you know, if you go to a 1389 01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:56,759 Speaker 1: job interview, dress appropriately, if you're doing it by zoom, 1390 01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:01,559 Speaker 1: don't have like your garage in the background own And 1391 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 1: if you are interviewing for a job. According to the CEO, 1392 01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,400 Speaker 1: of ballin branch, balling branches, I guess a Lenen company, 1393 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,679 Speaker 1: betting and things like that. According to CEO Scott Tennan, 1394 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,759 Speaker 1: about two hundred and seventy five employees in his company, 1395 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,960 Speaker 1: and he says he's interviewed upwards of a thousand people 1396 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 1: and hired four to five hundred over the course of 1397 01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: bull and Branch existence. And he says, whatever he's interviewing someone, 1398 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 1: whether it's an intern or maybe somebody for the C suite, 1399 01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: Scott Tennant says, make sure to ask one question, what 1400 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: do you know about ballin branch, And if the prospective 1401 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:44,800 Speaker 1: employee can't answer that, they don't get hired. It would 1402 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,919 Speaker 1: be I would think the same way for every single company. 1403 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:51,519 Speaker 1: Do a little research or you might be left at 1404 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 1: the post. Somebody who knows that is my next guest, 1405 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,679 Speaker 1: David Cathy's been on my show many many times. He's 1406 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 1: a hiring expert, and that's because he's a part partner 1407 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,920 Speaker 1: in a business called Unity Search Group. It's one of 1408 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 1: the top recruiting companies in the country. And there are 1409 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: some really big dues and don'ts that people aren't following, 1410 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: and that might be a reason why you may lose 1411 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 1: out on a job in twenty twenty six. Let's bring 1412 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: them on in. David, Kathy, how are you on this 1413 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:20,719 Speaker 1: glorious Monday. 1414 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,920 Speaker 5: We are doing fantastic ken, just a fantastic, great time 1415 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 5: of year. 1416 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 1: Oh, it is a great time of the year, really 1417 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:30,720 Speaker 1: and truly, you know, you get to be our age, David. 1418 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: There's really not a bad time of the year, right 1419 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:33,639 Speaker 1: who we're here? 1420 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 4: Oh, that is true. 1421 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:39,680 Speaker 1: I found this article interesting. Red flags and hiring. The 1422 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 1: hiring process is an awkward process. I know, more so 1423 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: perhaps for the interview e than the interviewer. But there 1424 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 1: are some things if you're going on a job interview, 1425 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: they just seem like common sense, but yet it's people 1426 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: violate these unspoken truths about interviewing. Number one I think 1427 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,479 Speaker 1: is how you dress. I mean, don't look like you're 1428 01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,960 Speaker 1: going out to run a marathon or something like that. 1429 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:06,839 Speaker 1: Put some good clothes on, right. 1430 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 5: And I mean how you dress. 1431 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. 1432 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 5: Well, there's two components here. Number one, you've got to 1433 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,640 Speaker 5: try to figure out how if you can dress a 1434 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:20,000 Speaker 5: notch above the interviewer. So how do you do that? Well, 1435 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 5: do your research, try to figure out what the environment's like, there. 1436 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,599 Speaker 5: If it's a business casual dress business. The trickier part 1437 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:32,560 Speaker 5: now is zoom interviews interviews on teams, because that's more relaxed, 1438 01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,040 Speaker 5: and you might be sitting at your home office or 1439 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 5: desk or kitchen table. Who knows you have a tendency 1440 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 5: to be more relaxed and you have a tendency to 1441 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 5: dress down, and that is an absolute trap and you've 1442 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,640 Speaker 5: got to take it through. This is a this is 1443 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 5: a job interview for goodness sake, right, we've got to 1444 01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 5: take this serious, right. 1445 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: So dress up from from But if the company is business, 1446 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 1: that does not necessarily mean you should put on formal hire, 1447 01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 1: right You don't need to walk in in a tucks 1448 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:02,559 Speaker 1: and a bow. 1449 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:06,600 Speaker 5: Tie, no, no, absolutely not. You kind of got to 1450 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 5: know what your company is in, right, So if they're 1451 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 5: in a investment banking or maybe some private equity firms, 1452 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 5: they're probably going to be in a suit, so you 1453 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 5: would wear If the company is a manufacturing company, which 1454 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 5: is jeans and a polo, often, well you're probably in 1455 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 5: maybe a nice polo or button up shirt and some takis. 1456 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,679 Speaker 5: You're just trying to take it up at least one 1457 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 5: notch sure from what the company. 1458 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: Is, and we're talking about research. Know what you're walking into. 1459 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 1: You should know a little bit certainly about the environment. 1460 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: You should know as much as you can about the 1461 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,719 Speaker 1: company you're interviewing with. I think one of the mistakes 1462 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people do is they walk in and 1463 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: they try to sell themselves, but they wind up not 1464 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: selling their knowledge of what the company is all about, 1465 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 1: and it becomes basically interview X. It could fit anywhere 1466 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 1: for the INTERVIEWE. You need to be a little more 1467 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 1: specific in what you're talking about when you're sitting across 1468 01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 1: from the person that either as a manager or owns 1469 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 1: the place. Put a little effort into where you're going 1470 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 1: to or you hope to go to work. 1471 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:09,599 Speaker 3: Right. 1472 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,600 Speaker 5: You could not be more correct. And this one boggles 1473 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,680 Speaker 5: my mind. So do the research, and not just the 1474 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 5: superficial research. 1475 01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:20,719 Speaker 3: Right. 1476 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,920 Speaker 5: I mean you can go online and you can search 1477 01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 5: for maybe a couple of minutes and pull out a 1478 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 5: couple of things that can be very superficial. I'm going 1479 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:30,600 Speaker 5: to give you an example. We're going to take a 1480 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 5: publicly traded and a non publicly traded company. If I'm 1481 01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 5: going to go into a company and they say, hey, David, 1482 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 5: you know tell us a little bit what you've learned 1483 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 5: about our organization? Am I going to answer, Well, I 1484 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 5: know that y'all are publicly traded Like that is so superficial. 1485 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 5: I'm going to drive more into details. And here's a 1486 01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:53,680 Speaker 5: couple of easily easy hacks for people. Go to the 1487 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 5: about us section of their website, where it talks about 1488 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,760 Speaker 5: largely the organization, the story of the organization. Go to 1489 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 5: the product. Make sure you understand and look and know 1490 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,639 Speaker 5: those products, specially if it's consumer products, because that may 1491 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 5: be sitting in your bathroom or in your kitchen. Sure, 1492 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:13,599 Speaker 5: and you want to refer to that in the interview. 1493 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 5: You know, oh, I've realized that. You know, you may 1494 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,000 Speaker 5: manufacture dice in vacuums. I actually have used that all 1495 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,680 Speaker 5: the time. My mom, in fact, loves them. And then 1496 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 5: you can kind of go down and tell a personal 1497 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 5: story that relates to it. 1498 01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: Sure zoom makes everything a little more difficult. It's there's 1499 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 1: no nuance to it. It's a two dimensional kind of 1500 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,840 Speaker 1: an interview. But I'm reading here where it only takes 1501 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 1: about ninety seconds for an interviewer to decide whether or 1502 01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,800 Speaker 1: not to hire you, which means you'd better come out 1503 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: of the gate, ready to go. But you can oversell 1504 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,719 Speaker 1: it too. I mean, there's a fine line that works 1505 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:45,400 Speaker 1: there is they're not. 1506 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 3: Well. 1507 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 5: There is a fine line in everything that we do, 1508 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,679 Speaker 5: especially when you're interviewing, because that's an important component. And yeah, 1509 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:58,760 Speaker 5: I think there are times, especially in Zoom, where there 1510 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 5: are some basics you need to do. You need to smile, 1511 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 5: you need to have a clear background or a good 1512 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 5: background on your Zoom can. One time we had a 1513 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:12,920 Speaker 5: guy interview at a client and he decided to interview 1514 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 5: in front of his liquor cabinet, and so behind him 1515 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 5: is all of his liquor. That is not something that 1516 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 5: you should be doing. So check your surroundings, check what 1517 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,120 Speaker 5: you're wearing. And here's a tricky, tricky one that I 1518 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:28,160 Speaker 5: always advise people it's really hard to do. Is that 1519 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 5: if you're looking at the screen you want to come 1520 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 5: across as you're making eye contact on Zoom, well, that 1521 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 5: means that you're looking at that little tiny dot at 1522 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 5: the top of your monitor. That doesn't mean that you're 1523 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 5: looking at the screen, And so you need to spend 1524 01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,759 Speaker 5: as much time as you can looking at that dot 1525 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 5: because the receiver thinks you are looking at them in 1526 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 5: their eye and eye contact is such a critical component 1527 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,080 Speaker 5: of interviewing, sure is. 1528 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,599 Speaker 1: And you know, even if you don't have a place 1529 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,679 Speaker 1: to do zoom that's clean or appealing to the eye, 1530 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:09,000 Speaker 1: you can download backgrounds for zoom. You know, I would 1531 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,120 Speaker 1: not necessarily, you know, put myself in a position where 1532 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm standing in front of the Eiffel Tower or anything 1533 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,160 Speaker 1: like that. But I mean, if you absolutely have to, 1534 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 1: you can get backgrounds for zooms now. And I've done 1535 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 1: that a great times. 1536 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 5: You know, great recommendation can great recommendation, and there's a 1537 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,639 Speaker 5: lot of everything out Here's the other thing, real quick, 1538 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 5: if I would add this is okay, we are in 1539 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. Largely the world has been some component 1540 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:42,719 Speaker 5: of remote since COVID twenty twenty. Whether you are currently 1541 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 5: remote or not, there was some component of working remote. 1542 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 5: So please know how teams or zoom works. You don't 1543 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 5: want to provide the feedback at this point in time 1544 01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:59,800 Speaker 5: to the interviewer. Sorry, I was five or ten. I 1545 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 5: couldn't get scenes or Zoom or whatever device you're on 1546 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 5: to actually work. It's one of my first times using it. 1547 01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 1: This may sound like I'm trying to damn an entire generation. 1548 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 1: But when gen Zers interact, they don't always look at you. 1549 01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: They kind of look past you. It's kind of like 1550 01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 1: a blank stare. And I don't know if that's because 1551 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 1: they live most of their lives on devices and most 1552 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,720 Speaker 1: of their interaction is done in characters as opposed to 1553 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 1: the spoken word. But practice talk to your mom, talk 1554 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:32,719 Speaker 1: to your dad, put them in front of you or whatever. 1555 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 1: But at least get to a point where you have 1556 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: some expression and some interest. 1557 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Ken, I mean, I'm going to give you some 1558 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:44,280 Speaker 5: quick hits, real quick, especially for I hate to say 1559 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 5: it too, maybe that generation that Hey, look, I'm gen 1560 01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 5: X and we don't have everything right. We've got a 1561 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 5: lot of things right, but we certainly don't have everything right. 1562 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 5: Practicing practice in a mirror. If you don't have, if 1563 01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:00,240 Speaker 5: you live by yourself, practice practice with your pet. But 1564 01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 5: just rehearse before you go into the interview. Pull the 1565 01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 5: visor down on your car, get into the parking lot 1566 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 5: fifteen minutes early, pull the visor down on your car, 1567 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:13,200 Speaker 5: and just go through what your intro is going to be. 1568 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,760 Speaker 5: When you say hi and a smile. A couple of 1569 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 5: things I would not do. I would not have my 1570 01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 5: first question be about maternity leave or PTO or benefits 1571 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 5: or what does this position pay? That is a huge no, no. 1572 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 5: One other thing that I would mention along those lines, 1573 01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 5: And you know, kind of with that practice is you 1574 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 5: have to have the ability to articulate in detail what 1575 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,559 Speaker 5: your experience is and how that applies to this role. 1576 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:54,680 Speaker 5: The yes knows questions add content something that the interviewer 1577 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 5: can sink their piece into, so they walk away from 1578 01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 5: that meeting going, man, some really knows their stuff, and 1579 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 5: I can see why they would be a good fit 1580 01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:08,479 Speaker 5: for this position instead of just one line answers, which 1581 01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,520 Speaker 5: to the point that you were making. For the generation 1582 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,839 Speaker 5: that we've been talking about here, when they do interact 1583 01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 5: often it can be very short, punchy answers. Well, you 1584 01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 5: want to elaborate on why this interviewer would be crazy 1585 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 5: to not get you a second round interview or the job. 1586 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And whatever you do, don't bring your mom 1587 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,519 Speaker 1: or your dad to the interview. Did you see that story? 1588 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 1: What about a year ago, forty percent of gen Zers 1589 01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: brought a parent to a job interview. I wouldn't even 1590 01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 1: bring that that interview. I wouldn't bring them into my office, 1591 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 1: I'd say go home with mommy. I can't believe people 1592 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 1: do that. What you probably saw the same thing, right. 1593 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 5: Yes, I mean we've we've seen that. We've seen mom 1594 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 5: and dad driving them to the interview. We've had parents, 1595 01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,679 Speaker 5: you know, we're recruiting in a stack. We've had mom 1596 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 5: and dad walk into our office with their son or 1597 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 5: daughter to help them meet with us to get a job. 1598 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 5: Like these are some things that you know you're a professional, 1599 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,880 Speaker 5: and companies want the best people. It is incredibly competitive 1600 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,599 Speaker 5: in the job market. And also just don't this isn't 1601 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 5: about just getting a job. You need to demonstrate that 1602 01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 5: you want this for your career. Jobs come and go, 1603 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,439 Speaker 5: careers stay, and so you really need to think through 1604 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,639 Speaker 5: and be able to answer the question not just do 1605 01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:38,160 Speaker 5: I want this job, but how are you presenting yourself 1606 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:41,680 Speaker 5: that you want this as your career and how you 1607 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,880 Speaker 5: are going to develop. And I want to go back 1608 01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,800 Speaker 5: to one point that you had said earlier when you 1609 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 5: were talking about the younger generation. Here I am picking 1610 01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:51,800 Speaker 5: on them again. We really got to stop this. You know, 1611 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:56,840 Speaker 5: everything is shortened, everything is in reels or shorts, our twenty. 1612 01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 11: Second clips and maintaining attention in an view is incredibly important. 1613 01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 11: Maintaining attention because when you do not maintain attention, you 1614 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 11: come across as distracted. What that looks like is I'm 1615 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,720 Speaker 11: maintaining good eye contact. Maybe I'm even taking notes on 1616 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 11: what they are saying. And by the way, if you're 1617 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,679 Speaker 11: on a zoom interview and you're typing notes, I would 1618 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 11: suggest writing notes because if you're typing and off to 1619 01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:29,000 Speaker 11: the side, even though you may be taking notes to 1620 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:30,960 Speaker 11: the person on the other end of the screen, it 1621 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,080 Speaker 11: comes across as this person's getting the answers on chat, 1622 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,000 Speaker 11: GPT or they're completely distracted. 1623 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:43,799 Speaker 5: So back to maintaining interest and attention. It's the I contact, 1624 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 5: it's taking notes, it's sitting up in your chair. These 1625 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,840 Speaker 5: are all these little visual nodding your head. There are 1626 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:57,479 Speaker 5: visual and verbal cues that allow you to maintain interests 1627 01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 5: that come across positively to the interviewer. 1628 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: Sure, and smile a little bit, and for what, for 1629 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: God's sake, don't play with your hair. That's the other 1630 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,479 Speaker 1: thing I would do. I would tell them don't play 1631 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,120 Speaker 1: with your hair. Uh, David, this is good stuff. David 1632 01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,600 Speaker 1: Kathy Again, he is with the Unity search group. You 1633 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,599 Speaker 1: can find them at unitysearch dot com and he has 1634 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,519 Speaker 1: been there a very long time. It's one of the 1635 01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 1: top recruiting country companies in the country. All right, David, 1636 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:25,639 Speaker 1: we appreciate your time here. 1637 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 5: You bet sen always good talking to you. 1638 01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Yep, you bet Yeah, don't play with your hair. If 1639 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: it's zoom, look into the camera. We'll look at the screen. 1640 01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: Look into the camera that's right there. And then when 1641 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 1: you go in, if you're lucky enough to get in 1642 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:43,320 Speaker 1: for an in person interview, you got to know something 1643 01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 1: about the company going in. It's not hard. I mean, 1644 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,640 Speaker 1: come on, figure out what the job is, what the 1645 01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 1: what the the the rudiments of that job entail, and 1646 01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 1: what the company does and how it's done. It's it 1647 01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 1: made a lot of money. It's it had rough time 1648 01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,719 Speaker 1: times lately. But I think the thing he said initially 1649 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,719 Speaker 1: was fascinating. Find out who's doing the interview and how 1650 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:12,560 Speaker 1: they dress, and then dress accordingly. If they dress in 1651 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 1: a suit coat and tie, or if it's a female 1652 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:20,679 Speaker 1: interviewer and she's in address, then you wear a suit 1653 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 1: coat and tie if you were a male candidate, or 1654 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 1: a dress if you're a woman candidate. I mean, this 1655 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,839 Speaker 1: stuff is not tough to figure out, but apparently people 1656 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,320 Speaker 1: just aren't accustomed to in person interviews anymore. Is that 1657 01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 1: your fault. No, not necessarily, but it doesn't mean you're 1658 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 1: not going to get tagged with the responsibility to twenty five. 1659 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 1: On this Monday afternoon, Martin Luther King Junior Day, we 1660 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us. We again as we began 1661 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,479 Speaker 1: the show by extending our thoughts about MLK Jr. On 1662 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 1: this day, just a great man of man of vision, 1663 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,400 Speaker 1: man of compassion, man left this earth part too early. 1664 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,720 Speaker 1: And I hope if you have the day off, that 1665 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:07,879 Speaker 1: you're utilizing it wisely when we come back. For most 1666 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 1: despite being a holiday, today is the bluest day of 1667 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:17,760 Speaker 1: the year, Blue Monday. Why is that standing by someone 1668 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 1: who not only knows what you can do about it? 1669 01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 1: Way do you hear what he's up to at the 1670 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 1: end of this month? If you want to talk about 1671 01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 1: a challenge, we'll continue next on seven hundred WLW June 1672 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,400 Speaker 1: thirty eight. On this Monday, welcome back the average American 1673 01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:41,080 Speaker 1: in for the great American and thrill that you're with us. 1674 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, today's a tough day for some people. Apparently 1675 01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:49,040 Speaker 1: this is Blue Monday that is a phrase that was 1676 01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,519 Speaker 1: coined gosh, about twenty years ago by a psychologist by 1677 01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 1: the name of Cliff Arnil R. Now, it's normally the 1678 01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:01,880 Speaker 1: third Monday of the year, and it, I guess, is 1679 01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:05,640 Speaker 1: a conglomeration of weather data, the debt you might have 1680 01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,759 Speaker 1: accrued because of the holidays, the time that has passed 1681 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,080 Speaker 1: since the holidays, and then of course the New year's 1682 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 1: resolutions that you never follow anyway. So it's probably more 1683 01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:20,200 Speaker 1: like blue season, just not blue Monday. And for some 1684 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:24,719 Speaker 1: people it's very real. Some people suffer from something called 1685 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:29,080 Speaker 1: seasonal effective disorder SAD, which is a type of depression 1686 01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,559 Speaker 1: triggered by seasonal changes. So if you're feeling a little 1687 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:34,679 Speaker 1: down today, you're not alone. If you're in the middle 1688 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 1: of January and you just feel down because of that, 1689 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 1: you're not alone. And my gosh, here comes snow this 1690 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,559 Speaker 1: coming weekend, and here come wind chills tonight that are 1691 01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:47,799 Speaker 1: going to make it feel bitterly cold. It's not something 1692 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,920 Speaker 1: that's atypical. But once you're in it, how to get 1693 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 1: out of it? Well, now, maybe somebody that can help. 1694 01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,720 Speaker 1: Bal Josie is somewhat of an athlete, In fact, a 1695 01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 1: great athlete we'll talk about in just a second. He's 1696 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 1: also a positive mindset expert, and who doesn't want somebody 1697 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,240 Speaker 1: like that in their lives? So let's welcome in on 1698 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,840 Speaker 1: this blue Monday, and Val Josie, how are you on 1699 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:11,760 Speaker 1: this glorious day? 1700 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:14,240 Speaker 8: Very well, thanks for having me. 1701 01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 1: So what is a positive mindset expert? Explain that and 1702 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:20,200 Speaker 1: tell me why I need one of those in my life. 1703 01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 8: I don't think anyone need an expert on positive mindset. 1704 01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 4: It's something that you do. 1705 01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:29,520 Speaker 5: So a lot of people. 1706 01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 8: Mistaken with the positive mindset is with something pretending to 1707 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 8: be everything is great. There's no stress, ignoring stress, or 1708 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,280 Speaker 8: forcing yourself to smile through the pain. That is not 1709 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 8: a positive mindset. What positive mindset is, it's just you 1710 01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,360 Speaker 8: accept the reality as it is. You control what you can, 1711 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:52,000 Speaker 8: and you take responsibility for your next step. 1712 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:57,480 Speaker 4: It's about direction, not denial. So if you are trying. 1713 01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 8: To find an aspiration, perhaps let's look down and find 1714 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:06,559 Speaker 8: courage and strength to do the hard things. 1715 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Sure well, there are always people who view the proverbial 1716 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:12,439 Speaker 1: glass of water half full, or those that view it 1717 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,960 Speaker 1: half empty. You said, positive mindset is it's a matter 1718 01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:17,720 Speaker 1: of looking at things. But I mean, some people in 1719 01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,040 Speaker 1: this world and they've had a lot of things thrown 1720 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 1: at them, from a financial, from a medical, from a 1721 01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 1: personal standpoint, and so they get up in the morning 1722 01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,200 Speaker 1: and things aren't really going all their way. It's a 1723 01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 1: little difficult, don't you think for some people to have 1724 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 1: that mindset you're talking about. 1725 01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:38,599 Speaker 8: Absolutely But if you find a little clarity in our thinking, 1726 01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:42,639 Speaker 8: let's just say, positive thinking does not make harder things easy. 1727 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 8: It doesn't remove the challenges that we face. 1728 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 5: What it does is it gives strength. 1729 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:54,160 Speaker 8: To move through them. And when your mind says this 1730 01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:57,000 Speaker 8: is too much, I cannot bear this, I cannot handle this, 1731 01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,920 Speaker 8: but the positive thinking says, well, let's just take one 1732 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 8: more step. 1733 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 5: That's it. 1734 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:06,160 Speaker 4: Just one more step, one more mile, just one more day. 1735 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. In other words, if you're you know, you're in 1736 01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,799 Speaker 1: bed and things are you know, the world is tilted 1737 01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,879 Speaker 1: against you, first step is get the hell out of bed, right. 1738 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:17,360 Speaker 8: And that is absolutely correct. 1739 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:18,599 Speaker 4: Yes, move. 1740 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:23,720 Speaker 8: I think it has the magical power to change our mindset. 1741 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 4: Just get out of the house. 1742 01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 8: Just move for five minutes, ten minutes, it doesn't matter. 1743 01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:33,040 Speaker 1: Do you do you subscribe to this theory that seasonal 1744 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,920 Speaker 1: effective disorder is real and that some people actually suffer 1745 01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:37,240 Speaker 1: from that. 1746 01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 8: Absolutely, it is real. In fact, there's a reason why 1747 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 8: it is real. So, first of all, the holiday's excitements 1748 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 8: are over, you know, Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year, 1749 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 8: that is over now. If you remember, we, most of us, 1750 01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 8: we made a lot of resolutions during during the New Year, 1751 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 8: and now we are finding the reality it's much harder 1752 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,439 Speaker 8: than we thought it's going to be, so that is 1753 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,519 Speaker 8: fading away as well. And then also the winter's days 1754 01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,519 Speaker 8: are long, and it's dark and it's cold. 1755 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:13,000 Speaker 4: People don't want to. 1756 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:18,360 Speaker 8: Go outside, so by physically, emotionally, and financially, it's a 1757 01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:22,800 Speaker 8: challenging period for everyone being will start to show up. 1758 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,559 Speaker 8: All the spending, that's spending that we have done in 1759 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 8: the last few weeks or towards the end of the 1760 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:30,400 Speaker 8: year or beginning of the year, they starting to show up. 1761 01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:34,400 Speaker 8: So life gets real. And when that happens, we could 1762 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 8: feel overwhelmed. 1763 01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:38,200 Speaker 4: That's very normal to feel that way. 1764 01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:40,360 Speaker 1: Well, we've got a little bit of sunlight here in 1765 01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:42,800 Speaker 1: Cincinnati today. We're going to have some tomorrow too, But 1766 01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:47,679 Speaker 1: by and large, from the start of December until about 1767 01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of April, the sun is only a rumor 1768 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:53,080 Speaker 1: around here. So if you have a bit of sunlight 1769 01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:55,400 Speaker 1: today or tomorrow, as bitterly cold as it is, get 1770 01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:57,840 Speaker 1: out and just maybe take a short walk, maybe I 1771 01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: get ten or fifteen minute walk and get some of 1772 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:00,040 Speaker 1: that vie. 1773 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:06,480 Speaker 8: Right, Absolutely, that is absolutely so what it is. Momentum 1774 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,360 Speaker 8: beats motivation. We don't need a motivation. We just need 1775 01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 8: to be active. Well for a walk, get some sunlight, 1776 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:16,120 Speaker 8: drink water, called someone, just move your body right down. 1777 01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:16,800 Speaker 4: One goal. 1778 01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:22,439 Speaker 1: That's all, yeah and everything. I think most ailments in 1779 01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:26,920 Speaker 1: life they're all related. I think to how you get 1780 01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:30,759 Speaker 1: to sleep, and if you don't sleep well, it triggers 1781 01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,960 Speaker 1: a lot of other things. It triggers stressors inside the 1782 01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:37,839 Speaker 1: body that could affect things like your gut, could affect 1783 01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:42,960 Speaker 1: your heart, could affect some other maladies you could contract. 1784 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 1: So I think number one we all talk about it. 1785 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how there's any panacea here for it, 1786 01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:51,760 Speaker 1: but get a good night's sleep. If you can get 1787 01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:54,280 Speaker 1: a good night's sleep, that probably helps all of these 1788 01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:55,639 Speaker 1: other things fall into place. 1789 01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,960 Speaker 4: Right, you could not have said it better. 1790 01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:01,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Okay, how are you sleeping? 1791 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 4: That's a challenge for me as a runner. 1792 01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:10,800 Speaker 8: I recover during my sleep, so there is always an 1793 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:15,120 Speaker 8: effort to sleep well. And the way that I have 1794 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:19,840 Speaker 8: practice better sleep is to set schedule, go to bed 1795 01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:21,920 Speaker 8: at the same time and wake up at the same time. 1796 01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,280 Speaker 8: Whether I want to or I don't want to, that's 1797 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,519 Speaker 8: a different story. But having discipline. Discipline is the key, 1798 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:29,679 Speaker 8: not the motivation. 1799 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,920 Speaker 1: Bal Josie says he's a runner. That's like Shakespeare saying, yeah, 1800 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:38,639 Speaker 1: I wrote a couple of books. Bal Josie is about 1801 01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:42,200 Speaker 1: to take on something that to me, I couldn't even think. 1802 01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,479 Speaker 1: I get tired looking at this. But starting on the 1803 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,880 Speaker 1: end of this month, thirty first of this month of January, 1804 01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,680 Speaker 1: You're going to be running seven marathons on seventh continents 1805 01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,920 Speaker 1: in seven days? Am I right about that? Seven marathons, 1806 01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,439 Speaker 1: seventh continents and seven days? Is that right? 1807 01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 4: That is correct? 1808 01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:02,120 Speaker 1: Why? 1809 01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:08,120 Speaker 8: Uh? Normally, if if if this interview was a face 1810 01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 8: to face, I would. 1811 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:12,599 Speaker 4: Have asked why not it's normally? It's uh. 1812 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 8: I'm doing it to do for the two things. Number One, 1813 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:21,240 Speaker 8: trying to find We all have our perceived limitations and boundaries, 1814 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 8: and I'm trying to find my own. What is my 1815 01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 8: perceived limitation? What is that boundary how far can I 1816 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,000 Speaker 8: possibly stretch? That is that's kind of a number of 1817 01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,360 Speaker 8: the quest of finding myself. 1818 01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 4: That's number one. Number two. 1819 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:35,840 Speaker 5: Every continants have it's. 1820 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:36,840 Speaker 4: Their own challenges. 1821 01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:38,519 Speaker 2: And I am someone that. 1822 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,360 Speaker 8: Who always likes to pick up a charity or a 1823 01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,920 Speaker 8: cause for any run that I do. And so it's 1824 01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,719 Speaker 8: this is my way of uh raising awareness and raise 1825 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:53,360 Speaker 8: funds for seven different causes that are important to these 1826 01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:57,839 Speaker 8: seven different continents, from Antarctica global warming to North America 1827 01:37:57,920 --> 01:37:59,440 Speaker 8: with the child's obesity. 1828 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:01,439 Speaker 4: So these are the causes that. 1829 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,320 Speaker 8: That are that are that are very close to me, 1830 01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,599 Speaker 8: and I'm passionate about these causes and and and see 1831 01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,320 Speaker 8: if we could raise some funds as well as raise awareness. 1832 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:11,280 Speaker 1: Well, I think that's wonderful, to be honest with you, 1833 01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 1: I I can't imagine someone who is has this advocation 1834 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,439 Speaker 1: of using it in a better way. But let's talk 1835 01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 1: about logistics. Okay, you're going to run a marathon, and 1836 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:23,599 Speaker 1: then I would think you're going to have to get 1837 01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 1: on a plane and fly to another continent, get off 1838 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,719 Speaker 1: that plane, adjust to that time period, and then run 1839 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,360 Speaker 1: another marathon the next day. That that that can't be easy, right, 1840 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean you've thought this out as to how the 1841 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 1: logistics of this work. So how do they work? 1842 01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:45,639 Speaker 8: So Luckily it's a it's a very formal organized race. 1843 01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:47,880 Speaker 8: So there's a group of people I think up to 1844 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:49,960 Speaker 8: fifty people that would be doing it together. 1845 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:51,160 Speaker 4: So we will all be together. 1846 01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 8: So as you said, we will finish the race in 1847 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 8: one continent and then get on the plane, go through 1848 01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:03,479 Speaker 8: the same UH airport and transit and immigration and custom 1849 01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,840 Speaker 8: and all of that, and then once you exit the 1850 01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,720 Speaker 8: airport there will be a race site. Well, we will 1851 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,840 Speaker 8: be running there and we'll do that for seven times 1852 01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 8: until we reach Miami and finish the race in Miami 1853 01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,120 Speaker 8: on the sixth of February. 1854 01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:16,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 1855 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,880 Speaker 8: The logistics are arranged at least, that's a that's a 1856 01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:22,040 Speaker 8: good thing about this. All we have to do is 1857 01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:26,799 Speaker 8: just finish the race strong and and avoid injuries and 1858 01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:30,560 Speaker 8: ready for next next contents and next race. Now, the 1859 01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,240 Speaker 8: one challenge with this is you there there are no 1860 01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:37,760 Speaker 8: allocated time for sleep other than what you do on 1861 01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:41,240 Speaker 8: the plane. I am personally on the side I don't 1862 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,280 Speaker 8: I don't sleep well on the plane when things are moving, 1863 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:46,519 Speaker 8: I do not sleep well. So that is going to 1864 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,519 Speaker 8: be a challenge for me. But the rest of the 1865 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 8: other logistics are arranged. At least that's something that we 1866 01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:53,240 Speaker 8: don't have to worry about. 1867 01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:57,320 Speaker 1: Okay, But the body needs time to regenerate. So you know, 1868 01:39:57,360 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: some people, we have one of the finest marit thons 1869 01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,439 Speaker 1: in the world here in Cincinnati. It's the Flying Pig Marathon. 1870 01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:07,080 Speaker 1: It's every it's every May, and obviously it's for a 1871 01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,120 Speaker 1: lot of marathon ers it's the race they choose to 1872 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:14,519 Speaker 1: run before the Boston Marathon. But I'm just I'm just 1873 01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,960 Speaker 1: wondering every marathon or I've talked to, when they're done, 1874 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: the body has to recover, whether it's an ice bath 1875 01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 1: or rub down or whatever it may be, to do 1876 01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:28,439 Speaker 1: seven seven marathons on seven continents. Are these seven days 1877 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:30,479 Speaker 1: in a row you're doing this or is there time 1878 01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:31,679 Speaker 1: in between each marathon? 1879 01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,200 Speaker 8: No, it's a seven consecutive days, seven days in the room. 1880 01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:39,200 Speaker 1: Well, how are you going? How this? This is I 1881 01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,599 Speaker 1: think the most fascinating part. How do you recover then 1882 01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 1: so that you're you're ready to go on the next 1883 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,439 Speaker 1: day because you're going to spend a lot of time 1884 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:52,360 Speaker 1: in an airplane and going through customs, and you're going 1885 01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:55,000 Speaker 1: to have to catch some some some sleep somehow, some way. 1886 01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,360 Speaker 1: How do you how are you preparing to prepare your 1887 01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 1: body for recovery after the first that would lead you 1888 01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,360 Speaker 1: to the second that would lead you on through in 1889 01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:04,840 Speaker 1: each of these consecutive days. 1890 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:09,760 Speaker 8: So the World Marathon Challenge is the other call set 1891 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:13,080 Speaker 8: in seven seven. It's not really a physical challenge. It's 1892 01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 8: beyond physical challenge. It's more of a mental one. You know, 1893 01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:19,719 Speaker 8: jet lag, no sleep, cold, heat, different countries, different time zones. 1894 01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:23,040 Speaker 8: A body always want to quit before a purpose does. 1895 01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:25,479 Speaker 8: So I don't train my legs as much as I 1896 01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:30,559 Speaker 8: train my identity. Let us repeat that. We don't train legs, 1897 01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,880 Speaker 8: We don't train body. We train identity. And what that 1898 01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 8: means is I train to become the kind of person 1899 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:39,600 Speaker 8: who finishes. 1900 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:40,439 Speaker 4: What he starts. 1901 01:41:40,600 --> 01:41:44,080 Speaker 8: On day four or five, there won't be any motivation available. 1902 01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:47,160 Speaker 8: Your body is fatigued and your body don't want to 1903 01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:51,760 Speaker 8: get up. But if you are training for identity and 1904 01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:55,479 Speaker 8: you want to make sure that that you want to 1905 01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:58,600 Speaker 8: become that person who finishes what he starts, that is 1906 01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:04,200 Speaker 8: a discipline, and discipline will wake you up and makes 1907 01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:07,200 Speaker 8: you make you do The day sixth and the day seventh. 1908 01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:09,640 Speaker 1: Well, that goes back to what we talked about a 1909 01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,519 Speaker 1: few minutes ago, the positive mindset and just it's the 1910 01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,160 Speaker 1: power of the mind over the body. If the mind 1911 01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:19,680 Speaker 1: isn't willing, the body won't follow along. So that that 1912 01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 1: kind of folds into what all of this is about. 1913 01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:25,360 Speaker 1: Blue season, Blue Monday, how you look at things and 1914 01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,800 Speaker 1: it sounds like this is all in that same boat, right. 1915 01:42:29,760 --> 01:42:35,160 Speaker 8: Absolutely, So yeah, Blue Monday maybe a myth, but winter 1916 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:36,280 Speaker 8: struggles are real. 1917 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:37,400 Speaker 3: It is real. 1918 01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,800 Speaker 8: Positive mindset does not change the weather, It does not 1919 01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,680 Speaker 8: change the outlook. It does not change how tired your 1920 01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,680 Speaker 8: body is. But what it does is it changes how 1921 01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:50,679 Speaker 8: you walk through the strom, and every strom passes. 1922 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,720 Speaker 1: So talk a little bit about You mentioned Miami, so 1923 01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:01,439 Speaker 1: that obviously is the marathon in North America. Then was 1924 01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:06,320 Speaker 1: it Antarctica or Arctic for the other where where where? 1925 01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,160 Speaker 1: Let's which one of the ones are you? Are you 1926 01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 1: going to be in both or one or the other? 1927 01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 8: So first day, which is thirty first of this month, 1928 01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,920 Speaker 8: is in Antarctica, Antarctica. Second day, yeah, second day is 1929 01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:24,600 Speaker 8: in Cape Town for for Africa. Third day is in Perth, Australia. 1930 01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:29,360 Speaker 8: For Australia, contment. Fourth day is a Dubai for Asia continent, 1931 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:36,160 Speaker 8: fifth day is in Madrid, Spain for Europe, and sixth 1932 01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:39,320 Speaker 8: day is Brazil for South America. And Miami is the 1933 01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,679 Speaker 8: last day seventh day for North America continent. 1934 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,880 Speaker 1: And you know, some of these are basic questions because 1935 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by you know, what what's happened? Are you 1936 01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:51,120 Speaker 1: are you flying commercial?
